Chapter 413: Chapter 413: Return to the Huo Family

Xia Chuyi: ...Why does this child always bring up the least opportune topics?

Then, Jiang Shuqin sighed and said, "You know, Huo Shiqian is getting on in years. His stepmother is especially keen on finding him a match."

"In the last half a year, she’s taken a liking to Ou Lianlian, the adopted daughter of the Ou Family. You’ve seen her when we were at the Ou’s."

"In my opinion, aside from the backing of the Ou Family, she’s not better than you in any way."

Upon hearing Jiang Shuqin compare her with Ou Lianlian, Xia Chuyi really wanted to say that she and Ou Lianlian had already had their confrontations.

"Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore."

"I’m only a freshman now; I’m not in a hurry to marry him."

"There’s plenty of time for many things."

Jiang Shuqin looked at her silently for a few seconds, then tapped her forehead with her hand and said, "You always see the big picture, but you have no idea how many people are coveting your Uncle Liberation Army, Huo Shiqian!"

"Coveting?" Xia Chuyi calmly said, "Coveting is good. It means my Uncle Liberation Army is outstanding."

Jiang Shuqin: "Chuyi, you really are..."

"Anyway, I’ll meet challenges as they come; what’s meant to be mine will be mine, and nobody can take it away," Xia Chuyi said calmly.

Elsewhere,

Huo Shiqian had just left the Jing University Gate, where a sedan was already waiting for him.

Huo Shiqian got into the car, closed his eyes to rest for a few seconds, and then said, "Tomorrow, back to the Huo Family."

The driver heard this and replied, "Yes."

The next day.

Huo Shiqian’s car drove into the Huo Family estate.

"Is Huo Commander back?" As soon as the security personnel at the gate saw him, they excitedly shouted.

One guard came forward to greet him while another hurried inside to report.

Stepping out of the car, Huo Shiqian stood firm and calmly swept his eyes over the place he hadn’t been back to for a long while.

"Brother, you’re back?" The first ones to rush out the door were the Huo Family’s twins, Huo Qing and Huo Lang.

These two children were from Huo Shiqian’s stepmother, Su Susu, but their relationship with Huo Shiqian was still quite good.

Or rather, it was more like these fifteen-year-old children admired their older brother unilaterally.

"Uh-huh," Huo Shiqian replied indifferently to the two children.

Knowing their big brother was always aloof, Huo Qing and Huo Lang didn’t show any discomfort and excitedly said, "Mom said just yesterday that you would definitely come back!"

Hearing this, he made no comment, just indifferently said, "There are gifts for you in the car. Go get them yourself."

With that, he went straight into the house.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Huo Zhongcheng and Su Susu, who had received the news, standing in the living room, seemingly waiting for his return.

"Shiqian, you’re finally back!" Su Susu said with a smile on her face, "Your dad has been talking about you non-stop!"

"Hello, auntie," Huo Shiqian greeted Su Susu casually, then turned to his father and called out, "Dad, I’m back."

That one sentence nearly brought Huo Zhongcheng to tears.

"Good, good, it’s good that you’re back!" Huo Zhongcheng said with suppressed emotion, visibly moved.

Over the years, his eldest son had really come home infrequently; it was Huo Zhongcheng who had found various excuses to visit Huo Shiqian at his military unit.

For a moment, Huo Zhongcheng felt sentimental.

Huo Shiqian’s expression remained unchanged, and it was impossible to see what he was thinking.

Su Susu hurriedly said, "You two don’t just stand there. Have a talk. I’ll go to the kitchen and help Sister-in-law Xing prepare the food."

With that, Su Susu left with a smile, leaving the father and son alone in the living room.
